I told you we were headed for a nice weekend, and holy smokes, it is heaven.

There is nothing better then sunshine, a nice breeze, no humidity AND smiling, happy people.

Everybody loves the Fall season.

My 1800's buggy is decked out.

It takes up a lot of space... a full size carriage, but my Barn is HUGE so it works out.

Funky shelf sitters

I have a few Chevron pumpkins left

...Bl & Wh and Orange available

(polka dots too !!)

We wait all year for this fabulous Maple pumpkin butter and Caramel sauce.

Just in ... local made pumpkins !!

Henry...hoot.hoot.

Is looking over the guests... available in 3 sizes...

I think we still have 3 sizes left. LOL

- oops, I guess I should be up on these things.

Fab squirrels ... ready for Fall or the Christmas setting !!

This basket... I took these pictures at the beginning of the week. - that's what usually happens, I walk through... taking pictures with a blog post in mind, but then don't get to the post until the end of the week... or sometimes later. Ugh.

Anyway, I walked the floor yesterday and this basket was pathetic! Almost empty ! Yes, that is a good thing. I immediately searched for backup filler ... because that's what I do, but looking at this photo above, reminds me of what exactly was in it - and how fast things move here.

That bag of dried goods is a sight for the senses, with the bright orange slices and the cinnamon / harvest smells ... It's no wonder it flies out the door.

I mentioned Halloween is coming...

Poor Lola, is being swarmed by spiders and furry rats...

If you are looking for the funky kind of Halloween decor

... I have it !!

I won't be in Saturday... I need to soak up the sun and gather some mums, but I will be in to play and visit on Sunday

We are having some Good Weather up here in Minnesota. Sunny and 80 degrees for the weekend. It is Junk Bonanza time... if you haven't heard, it is a giant - vendor gathering of Vintage Goodness. It is also crowds of people and loads of schlepping of goods. - I know because I have done a booth for as long as I have been in business. This year, however, I am keeping my wares at the Barn.

We are loaded for a party !!

We do draw a good crowd from the Bonanza. Most think it is worth the drive.

This one above is SO cute with the fox, the stripes and the bit of lace on the bottom

It even has a matching apron !!

OMG

... and who doesn't Absolutely love a little pug in a chair

... I could go on and on ... but there are more...

Eek. Love them all !!

You know how it is when I go to market. I only buy what I like... If you like what you see on this blog, then you like the same things I do. If you like the same things I do, THEN you will love a field trip to the Barn.

I hear this a lot ... I will have to see if my girlfriend will go with me... Or, I have to get a group together and come up. Coming with friends or a group is great, but I think you will have the BEST time experiencing and exploring when you come by yourself. You can take your time... enjoy some coffee... search for the unusual... Just have a peaceful - relaxing experience.

You never know what you will find.

... we truly have something for everyone !!

... we even have snacks for those of you who are here for a while.

Do you have a painting project coming up and need a little confidence working with the Miss Mustard Seed's milk paint. Our next class is coming up and it will give you the confidence you need - plus it will be fun... we are painting pumpkins. Learn everything you need to about this line of paint / products.

When you walk in do you feel instant comfort... or is it in a constant state of chaos. I hope it isn't chaos. I hope it is a safety zone with good smells, and good vibes and ... well... comfort. When you are not at home, are you thinking - I can't wait to get home... And when you get home you think - yes, I am finally home.

Home is a good thing.

we are nesting here at the Barn

- gathering things we think you will love for your home

- to provide your space with fun surroundings

- and good smells

- and lots of color

- and who doesn't need some good, inspiring books to curl up with on these cool days.

This weekend our Fall Market was going on.

Good times !!

Come on in and grab a warm cup of coffee and explore the grounds for some comforts for your home.

Lori Miller, Owner and Author

The Round Barn Potting Company is an adventure in design and decor. I began this adventure June 01, 2007. My brick and mortar shop was housed in a large round barn, hence the name of my company RBPCo. I have recently closed the brick and mortar shop but my mind continues to create. The blog reflects my style, which is a mix of vintage and architectural pieces, casually blended with new product. My home is a place to come for daily rejuvenation and inspiration. I will post as many pictures as I can. I will fill the online shop when I can and can ship almost all merchandise in the US. You can always check on product that you see by emailing me at loriatthebarn@ymail.com
